Awkward Sex Conversations with Mom

I believe that sex education should start at home. It is crucial that parents discuss the birds and the bees with their children. Kids are smart. They figure out early on that babies aren’t brought by storks. My dad used my then-favorite Spice Girls song as an example. “You know how they sing Two Become One?”

“Ohhhhh! So two become one! You mean you and Mama had to… ohhh, okay. I get it.” Even at a young age, I understood metaphors fairly easily. So that was the end of that conversation.

Conversations with My Best Friend

One of my childhood best friends was named Camie. We did everything from climbing the school roof (and getting caught) to plotting our future weddings with boys who should no longer be named. But one our favorite pastimes was cutting class and going to the library to dig up old romance novels. We would sit in a corner and giggle our way through the love scenes. We knew that most of these scenes would take place exactly halfway through the book and right at the end.

Tried to have this conversation with my son, and got the “Mooooooooom!” response. Andy brings up a great question. Who talks to the sons if dad is missing, or vice versa. We just do the best we can and at least try (then try again to the chorus of more …”moooooom!”

Hi there! I think this is always going to be a sensitive subject between parents and kids. But luckily for me, my mom was determined and kept at it even I kept “mooooom”-ing her. :) At least your son knows that this is a conversation you are willing to have with him. So keep doing the great job that you’re doing! :)

You and your brothers were so curious! Talking with your eyes…the topic eliciting silly smiles…wanting to ask more. I could not keep up. I was perspiring…thank God you Mama was there….whew!
During Grandpa’s time, there was no ‘konbersayson’ at all. “Just eat your food,” he said.

I knew it!!!!.you kids are lucky with Mama around. With Papa its gonna be sound of silence… intiendes???hey guys..are we good?????
In our family, I started with the book on Babies when Rompee the eldest was two for him to understand the arrival of baby sister. and then he gave Papa the birds and the bees talk at age 6 using the Travolta movie” Look who’s talking”.Times have changed indeed….

Remember we used to get the “bad” books and hide them in the backs of the shelves so no one would get them? AAAND, one time, there was a book drive and we STOLE the mature Sweet Valley books to complete our collection!

And remember our weird friend (whose name starts with the letter F), who actually introduced us to these books! Poor F, we kinda made fun of her for being weird. But we were doing the same thing.

It says “ANONYMOUS” but I DEFINITELY KNOW WHO THIS IS!!!! haha only YOU would know these little childhood secrets! Hon, I just read Fifty Shades of Grey…Sweet Valley kisses pale in comparison. But that was our childhood!

And my godddd, yes, of course I remember! She lent us THAT book…by far, THAT BOOK was the most erotic of them all! Soooo scandalous.
